BOMAG BW 124 D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 124 D is a robust static smooth drum roller designed for medium-duty compaction tasks in road construction, trenches, and earthworks. It features a 47.2-inch (1200 mm) wide smooth drum and an operating width of 55 inches, ensuring efficient surface coverage. The roller is powered by a Deutz Tier 4i diesel engine delivering approximately 45 horsepower, optimized for fuel efficiency and low emissions. Its hydrostatic travel and vibration drive system offer smooth, variable speed control and high maneuverability, enhanced by a turning radius inside of 120.1 inches. The BW 124 D produces a vibration frequency of 2480 vibrations per minute (vpm), providing effective soil compaction through a powerful exciter system. It is equipped with a hydrostatic steering system and a maintenance-free articulated joint allowing up to 35 degrees of articulation and 12 degrees of oscillation, which supports excellent drum-to-ground contact on uneven terrain. Safety and operator comfort are ensured through an ergonomically designed instrument panel, vibration-isolated operator platform, and standard ROPS/FOPS with seat belts. The roller also features durable dual hydraulic travel pumps, a limited-slip differential, spring-applied hydraulically released brakes, and dual drum scrapers to maintain drum cleanliness during operation. With a maximum gradeability of up to 55%, the BW 124 D handles steep inclines effectively, making it suitable for varied compacting conditions. Overall, the BW 124 D combines fuel efficiency, maneuverability, and powerful compaction performance in a compact, operator-friendly design.
